These are the dais of trusts and
this Is an era of trusta writes W D

that there are some good trusts bun t

Impossible to locate the good polnta

reference to the catalogue houses that
have grown up In the large cities with
in tho past few yean We can all re
member not long ago when there was
a country store at every crossroads
and at the same time there were pros
porous towns every few miles along
IIeye railroad In each one of these
towns there were from two to half a
dozen genert stores besides the
other stores that were handling s po
clal lines They all enjoyed a good
trade and sold Roods at reasonable
proDlaToday
Today In every agricultural and
Industrial section of the country you
can notice tho results that bavo been
1brought about by the catalogue bounce
The crossroads stores have gone and
in the towns business houses have
been vacated their windows boarded
up and the former occupants driven
Into bankruptcy or other occupations
Not that the catalogue houses have
sold cheaper than the small merIt
chants but they have flooded the coun
try with catalogues and advertise
menu Ulurlng away Ibo trade they t
rightfully belonged at home These
catalogue houses are owned and man
rand by alto business men built upon
the broad gauge plan who realize the
benefits to bo derived from advertis
lag They have organized an advertis
edlag campaign and each year they are
spading fortunes not only publishing
and sending out catalogues but they
have built up a combination of news
papers tm i are nothing but mailorder
Journals It II shown that the com

Itsnqulno agricultural religious and
other paper that will accept their ad
vertising They pay the top price for
theyr
are enabled to reach about every
farmer in the land They set aside
acb year millions ot dollar for ad
vertisingThus
Thus it will bo seen that the cats
logos houses and certain classes oft
publishers are In a combine that con
stitutes one of the most damnable
trusts ever known So far the coon
try press although frequently at
proached has turned a deaf oar to the
siren voice of these destroyers of
te
home trade In return for this the
country merchants should be liberal In l
their patronage of tho local papers
which have demonstrated that they
are true friends In a time of Ward Thn
mailorder houses are In the business
for money and the only way to com
bat them Is I to agree upon a lino of
action The country press and thor
country merchants must get together
and start a campaign of education
The country press Is on tho right side t
and by all working together nnd for
ono purpose the grip now enjoyed by
the catalogue houses can bo broken I
and trade turned back Into Its legiti
mate channels

Small towns as well as large cities

BUYERS SHOULD BEWARE
Infringements of Patents by Concerns
Doing a MallOrder Business
Recently the United States circuit
court for the southern district of
New York banded down a decision
which Is I of particular Interest to
thousands of farmers throughout the
land Two large manufacturers of
cream separators instituted a suit for
infringements ot their patents against
ono ot the largest mallorder houses
The decision of the court was in favor
ot the complainants and a decree was
rendered granting a permanent in
Junction and masters order on ac
counting In favor of the complainants
This case has been before the courts
for the past two years It is claimed
that thousands of the separators In
fringements upon the patents owned
by the complainants have been soil
to farmers throughout tho country
The laws of the United States forbid
the using of patented machines as
well aa tho making and selling of the
same The court order means that
the mailorder concern will be com
pelled to pay an equitable amount
upon each machine manufactured and
soil as well as the payment of other
damages on account of such manufac
taro and salon It also ueans that tho
two companies who are the com
plainant can provent each purchaser
of the Infringed cream separator us
ing the same or to pay a royalty for
tho using of tho same
The people should derive a lesson
from this It Is I not safe to purchase
any Invention put out by a mailorder
concern unless there Is I poiUlvo proof
that it Is not an Infringement An
other thing Is were people Inclined to
palranlso homo concerns there would
imposeds
upon and should trouble arise over I
tho validity of any patent It Is much
easier to adjust matters with the homo
merchant than with sorao foreign
mailorder house
